Yuma, Arizona High 69 Low 45
The weather has been cooler for the last few days. but is still pleasant during the afternoon.
My brother, Glade, who recently retired has been traveling with some friends in their RV's. They recently spent some time in Quartzsite and then came to Yuma for a little while. Next they go to Tucson for a week and then come back to Yuma.
They made a visit to see us, but first we had to get Shrimp Taco's (sorry you missed out Nancy). It was their first time to have them, but thought they were very good. The people they travel with had been here before, and as it turned out, they wanted to go to the very place we would have taken them. They have been coming to Yuma for 20 years and say they are the best in the area.
Glade and ReNae then followed us to see our home. We sat around for a while and then decided to take them to see the City Of Yuma airplane at the Yuma City Hall. Late in 1949 Yuma was about to loose the Military base, which would have ruined Yuma's economy at that time. So the flight was to prove how good the flying and weather was in Yuma with an endurance flight. The plane stayed flying for 1124 hours (over 46 days) with the aid of a Buick chase car for refueling. The plane and car are on display at the Yuma City offices. We thought they might be interested. and they were. There is also the first Yuma fire truck on display.
Yesterday we went out to eat lunch at a Mexican restaurant That one of their friends liked. It was very good.
We will get to visit again when they come back week after next.
I am in our annual Shuffleboard Pin tournament starting tomorrow. I hope I do well.
Thanks for visiting.
